About Me

My photo
I'm not a graceful person. I'm not a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I am a Tuesday 2AM, I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks, I am a broken window during February. My bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall from elegance with a dull thud, and I apologize for my awkward sadness. I sometimes believe that I don't belong around people, that I belong to all the leap days that didn't happen. The way light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm. You don't see the lightning, but you hear the echoes.

Sayin' Grace


I really think I've moved on from .... i still dine at Mary Grace's without slipping notes, recalling all the broken promises, waxing all that drama --- it's jusz me, my hectic sked and good food. Bliss.




... it's actually about the table.  I deliberately avoided the ones with the glass tops, you  know, those ones with the teeny weeny spaces, just enuff for you to squeeze in that brown stationery and all your emotional baggage written all over it screamin like everything just happened that night you discovered all their pedicured photos posted in Facebook Thanksgiving Day 2011.  That was massive dishonesty, I tell you.  Lesson I've taken all my life.  I was a totally different person after that. It was that war I went to ... and changed me.

Sorry. No. Bee. Leave me alone! Iridescent. Whole landscape. And that last line ...

(jusz becoz I've been watchin' re-run of my forever favorite movies.  it's a long holiday.  only be back for office on the 3rd.  the last two days were Notting Hill, Chasing Liberty and Dirty Dancing:  Havana Nights.  earlier today was A walk to Remember. and then this.  I loved this movie so much that this was the third time I was writing about it.  The first time was a reference.  The second time was a few months after that tragedy.  This, the third, I drafted 5 - 6 years ago.  I just thought, may be the timing's perfect, it get's posted in its original form, I am retaining the title, too.

I don't even remember why i wrote it this way.  I took the lines and placed them not in the same order as they were in the book or in the film.  I took the words for the title, key words, to remind this writer why she wrote it this way.

'Must say, I still love happy endings tho, especially, in the movies.)


Bryce Loski: Juli, I'm sorry.
Juli Baker: No. You're not.

Garrett: Hey! Have you flipped? Whats the matter with you?

Garrett: Are you freaking mental? Juli Baker? You hate her.
Bryce Loski: That's whats so weird, I don't think I do.

Bryce Loski: There was a... bee in her hair.
Dana Tressler: There's no bee.

[Bryce enters the second grade classroom]
Young Juli: Bryce! You're here!
[runs up and tries to hug him]

Juli Baker: Bryce, you should come up here. It's so beautiful.

Bryce Loski: All I ever wanted was for Juli Baker to leave me alone.

Juli Baker: His hair smelled just like watermelon.

Chet Duncan: Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss; but every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and once you do, nothing will ever compare.

Juli Baker: I guess it's something about his eyes or maybe his smile.
Richard Baker: And what about him?
Juli Baker: What?
Richard Baker: You have to look at the whole landscape.
Juli Baker: What does that mean?
Richard Baker: A painting is more then the sum of it's parts. A cow by itself is just A cow. A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun picking through the trees, is just a beam of light. But you put them all together and it can be magic.

Bryce Loski: Flat, glossy, iridescent? What the hell does that mean? Juli Baker has always seem plain to me. Until now.

Dana Tressler: The only bee your attracting is B-R-Y-C-E. I'm telling you, that boy is lost in Loveland.

Bryce Loski: The way she ignore me was a constant reminder that I've been a jerk.
